Since Time Immemorial

 

Since time immemorial he has waited, for his chance, his victory, his turn

For his chance to rule the world, for which many scream and yearn

His sword still gleaming silver, adorned by cobwebs and dust

Waits to bathe in blood again, for that is his master’s lust

Since time immemorial, as a statue he has stayed

And for his time to come soon, since forever he has prayed

For he has been abandoned, cheated on and lied to

And revenge was running in his veins, blood-lust pure and true

 

The woman he once loved, cursed him, to be nothing but frozen stone

As misunderstanding tears was what it was in her eyes that shone

His brother had laughed wickedly, and as a statue, had let him stay

And he lived his years making merry before also fading away

 

And so since time immemorial, he has waited for his turn

For his chance to rule the world, for which many scream and yearn

His sword still gleaming silver, adorned by cobwebs and dust

Waits to bathe in blood again, for that is his master’s lust
